| The Categories | |
| We will have three categories: Figure, Mecha and Diorama. | |
| Figure Clarification | |
| There are a few general criteria that must be observed: 1. A Figure entry will count on the KIT only. The base or its background environment will not be considered as part of the judging criteria. 2. Figure must be resin. It CANNOT be a PVC figure or Plastic Model . 3. Scratchbuilding and conversion of existing resin figures are highly encouraged. |
|
| Mecha Clarification | |
| 1. A Mecha entry will count on the KIT only. The base or its background environment will not be considered as part of the judging criteria. 2. Accessory add-ons are defined as any other elements that are not the main body of the kit. They Can be removed and the kit will still be able to Stand on its own and Be easily recognized as a kit . 3. Accessory add-ons can be made by plastic and other materials, while the main body must be Resin . However, if the entry is a Resin Conversion Parts Set , then the main body can be plastic. 4. Scratchbuilding and conversion of an existing Mecha are highly encouraged. |
|
| Diorama Clarification | |
| The basic components of a diorama should contain a base, at least two models and with lots of extras. A qualified diorama MUST tell some story, action, or event . We are especially serious in looking for highly customizable works which feature INTERACTIVITY between models (or characters). A lack of these elements will cost points when being judged. Just putting a few related models on a fancy base will NOT be a very good diorama. Plastic model kits and PVC figures are allowed for the diorama section - as long as at least ONE model in the scene is a Resin Kit. Some good examples: Diorama 2008--Menace & Anubis by Amakusa Shiroh Tokisada Diorama 2007--Nakoruru Attack Pose & Haomaru by ogami Diorama 2006--Grassopher do an ambush to the spider by p.tor Diorama 2006--Getting ready for the Christmas party by fenshing Diorama 2006--X'mas Market by jrosin Diorama 2005--The fire is mortal by Adi Diorama 2003--Hygogg Assult by GameraBaenr Diorama aims to give more freedom and allow more creativity. However those who abuse the rules will be disqualified without prior notice. If further clarification is required, you should address it before registration ends. A description can be provided to describe the scene. It may help others to understand more about your work, but the work itself should be self-explanatory enough. It is absolutely NOT a tool for telling the story or action and thus will NOT count in judging. |
